Heard a nice little song on the radio and went to do a google search to see if I could find it. Of course by the time I’d got to the internet, I’d mixed up the artist so I typed in “whitest guy on earth dreams burning” and google asked me if I instead meant “hottest guy on earth dreams burning”. I thought I’d then tried “blackest guy…” to see if I’d get the same results, but no, it just went straight to the listings. I’m sure that there’s nothing nefarious going on, “whit” shares two letters with “hot” and o and i are very close together. I just thought it was funny that google thinks “whitest” is somehow linked with “hottest” in their complex algorithms, I doubt most people would consider the whitest person on the planet to also be the hottest.

Btw, I did find the song: it’s called “Burning” and it’s off the Dreams album… it’s by the whitest boy alive (from Norway) and here’s the MySpace. They also have 9,999 friends when I last checked. That’s a cool number.
